Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ellen S. Jul 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely large home on the bay This is a beautiful, extremely clean large 2 bedroom home in a quiet cottage area. Very comfortable beds with a large bathroom. Well supplied kitchen. Very comfortable living area with large smart TV.Beautiful wrap around deck with BBQ and picnic table overlooking an amazing bay view.Adirondack chairs across the street to relax.An incredible trail just down the street.If there is a negative it is the parking arrangement. The parking area for 2 cars directly to the right of the house where the stairs up to the house are located were not assigned to us. For some reason they were allocated to the house across the street. We had to park down the street and haul all our luggage up to the house and try to manoeuvre beside the cars that were parked there that gave us very little room.Other than that, highly recommend. ##### Ellen S.
